The case is Caniglia v. Strom. It originated in 2015 when Cranston, Rhode Island, police paid a "well call" on 68-year-old Edward Caniglia. His wife had been unable to reach him after they had a fight and she was worried that he might be suicidal. So she called the authorities. The police took Caniglia to the hospital, where he was examined by a nurse and a social worker and discharged that same day. Meanwhile, the police entered his home without a warrant while he was gone and seized his two handguns. The present case centers on Caniglia's claim that this warrantless police action violated his Fourth Amendment rights.

[...]

Caniglia now wants the Supreme Court to overrule that lower court decision. Extending the community caretaking doctrine "into the home—the most protected of all private spaces—would create a loophole in the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement wide enough to drive a truck through," Caniglia and his lawyers told the justices. "So long as an officer reasonably claims to be taking care of the community, he can disregard the Fourth Amendment's protections."

Let's hope Trump's appointees come through, but who tf knows. Government-run courts typically aren't too keen on limiting government power.

So you folks voted for trump to get protection for your gun rights.

The republicans had trump gave the rich huge tax breaks. A rich man making a million dollars a year will see $69,900 a year in tax cuts, every year, forever.

Those taxes have to be made up somewhere. How much do you want to bet the working man will make up the tax shortages the rich used to pay?

In exchange for electing trump, trump put 3 justices on the Supreme Court. This is trumps way of protecting gun rights.

If the trump Supreme Court doesn't come through for the gun rights folks, that's one hell of a screw over.

This is a fourth amendment case, although I know you don't give a shit about any part of the BoR.

I voted for Trump because he was the only alternative to the corrupt vile hag Clinton.

Not just the rich:

Americans paid almost $64 billion less in federal income taxes during the first year under the Republican tax overhaul signed into law in late 2017 by President Donald Trump, with some of the sharpest drops clustered among taxpayers earning between $25,000 and $100,000 a year, even as the overall number of refunds dropped during a turbulent tax season.

That’s according to Internal Revenue Service data released this week, giving the most up-to-date look yet at how people fared at tax time in the first year of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

...


• The double-digit percentage decreases in average tax liability started with a 12.5% drop for people making $15,000 to $20,000 a year. Double-digit percentage reductions in liability continued for people making $25,000 to $30,000 (down 11.2%) through $100,000 to $200,000 (down 10.96%).


Taxpayers making between $40,000 and $50,000 a year had the largest fall in average tax liability, a 14.5% drop, while high-end households making between $250,000 and $500,000 had the second largest decrease, with a 14.4% liability reduction.


• Taxpayers making at least $1 million had a 4.3% decrease in average tax liability.



As you can see, many income groups benefited from the tax cuts.


Those taxes have to be made up somewhere.

No, they don't. The rotten government can cut spending.

Don't worry. Traitor Joe and the DCP run congress will raise the taxes on everyone and give themselves raises again.

what does class warfare and envy of the rich have to do with this thread. The top one percent pay 40% of the FIT and all the death tax. Do the top one percent use 40% of the services paid for by the FIT or 100% of the services funded by the death tax? Of course not, so the rich are subsidizing what you get from the government.
